Tag: throwback thursday

remember those days? what did you buy with bitcoin when it was worthless? i bought everything from girl scout cookies to VPN services. just trying to be part of a budding new marketplace. crazy looking back. Who’s buying Teslas with Bitcoin? it was almost 5000 the other day. What a ride. . .

I needed a part in Woodland hills this week so I decided to drop by my old employer, Mac Talk, Inc. Unfortunately, it could not be found.

This priceless gem I found only recently. My father with his Apple Performa 6500. Not sure exactly when this was taken, but I love the Sherlock shirt he’s got on. This was half a dozen towers towers ago for him. Dad’s always loved technology. He got me started in all this. Thanks dad.

I found more pictures of my old bedroom recently. Below, I cleared out my bed to install a pull out sofa (seen in next frame). It turned my high school room into quite the hangout. Also on display were some art and other decorations from that era. If you look closely, you can find Pez, impressionists paintings, comics, Magic packs, and a Sun optical mouse/mousepad. I wonder what others will find. My room’s walls were quite the collage. I’ve added more pictures including this 4up from my Nickelodeon Photo Blaster. Can you find Audio/Video tapes next to the original Nintendo? enjoy.

In that last picture, my room is trashed while i pack for the Defcon Hacker conference in Las Vegas.
